I'm against handing out Wii's, but frankly, school PE is a complete waste of time, PE teachers are all mentally retareded and the kids would be better served with an extra lesson of spelling or maths or something.

I will never forget the one occasion I used the excuse that I'd forgotten my PE kit to get off PE, two very painful whacks on the arse with a plimsoll from the PE teacher. Today’s view is that I would have been traumatised for life unless given immediate remedial counselling, and the teacher would justly deserve dismissal from the profession and prosecution. Looking back, however, I learned a valuable lesson from someone I remember as an excellent teacher, which has served me well throughout life.

Don’t bunk off from duties or responsibilities.

I wonder what life enhancing lessons today’s students learn when their reluctance to attend PE is rewarded by allowing them to play Nintendo?

I can PROUDLY say, from 10 years old to leaving school at 17, I NEVER took partz in a "P.E" lesson". NEVER!

Did it harm my health?

I played murder ball for the army, and passed my B.F.T every time first go, and was able to run around the Falklands.

"P.E lessons" are just an excuse for queer teachers (Which appears to be MOST of them) to exercise their wrists at the sight of wee boys in shorts playing with their balls. (Same as football. Same purpose. More vouyers).
